The Aquamog CCX-238 Creating a New Channel Through a Thick Cattail Zone
This article is about the Aquamog CCX in action. The aquatic rig is great for making channels or removing nuisance cattail growth from lakes. This is by far the fastest and most efficient Aquamog when it comes to just emergent vegetation and cattail control. Where other Aquamogs need to many attachments to do the same work, the Aquamog ccx just digs right in to create new open water.
The Aquamog CCX with its two independent cutter blades in the front of the machine can displace cattails to a depth of three feet. The blades propel the vessel as well as do the root removal work. Getting rid ofthe roots can cut down on re-growth in the area.
When the roots are removed they remain on the surface of the water and are than easily picked up and removed from the pond using an aquatic plant harvester. The harvester transports the plant material to the shore for final placement and/or off site land fill.
Cattails are a beneficial plant that have many functions in ponds. Cattails provide filtering of heavy metals from wetlands, as well as provide habitat and shelter for birds and other wildlife.
But, if not properly controlled they can quickly turn into a large aquatic plant problems that can be very difficult and costly to handle. That is why the Aquamog ccx was created. For more information visit www.dkenvironmental.com.
